Pinterest marketing · Product pins & Pinterest ads

Pinterest marketing for products people are planning to buy

Pinterest is a search engine for ideas, and the people searching are planning a purchase: a kitchen, a wedding, a wardrobe, a trip. Every pin links back to your website, pins rank in Google and Google Images, and Pinterest shoppers convert faster than on any other social platform. If you sell something people can picture, we make sure they picture yours.

Why Pinterest

Why Pinterest belongs in your marketing

Shoppers with intent

People use Pinterest to plan purchases and projects, which is why it has the highest revenue per click of any social platform and converts visitors to customers faster. Retail, ecommerce, home, food, weddings, travel and design businesses belong here.

Every pin is a link to you

Pinterest does not host your content; it links to it. Each pin of your product or article is a path back to your website, and pins keep sending traffic for months, unlike posts that vanish in a day.

Pins show up in Google

Pins are public, indexed and returned in Google and Google Images searches. Well-designed images that stand out earn clicks and brand recognition, and the mentions and links that follow.

How it works

Audit, set up, publish, report

  • Setup and strategy

    Page optimized, tracking installed, content plan and posting cadence set, ad audiences built.

Social and search

How Pinterest helps your Google rankings

Likes and shares are not a direct Google ranking factor, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something. What social does is feed the things Google does reward: traffic to your site, searches for your brand, mentions and links when content gets shared, and consistent business information everywhere. Engaging, informational posts with clear calls to action establish authority, get referenced in articles and blogs, and send visitors to your pages.

  • Content planned once and used on your site, your page and your email
  • Business information kept consistent with Google Business Profile and citations
  • Reported alongside SEO and Google Ads, one team, one meeting

Do it yourself

8 rules for a Pinterest presence that works

  1. 01
    Claim your website

    It unlocks analytics, rich pins and attribution for every pin of your content.

  2. 02
    Treat it like search

    Write pin titles and descriptions with the words people search, not clever captions.

  3. 03
    Design vertical

    Tall pins (2:3) with a readable text overlay win the feed. Horizontal product shots get lost.

  4. 04
    Pin consistently

    A few fresh pins a day, scheduled, beats a burst. Pinterest rewards steady publishing.

  5. 05
    Connect the catalog

    Product pins update price and stock automatically and show up in shopping surfaces.

  6. 06
    Plan by season, early

    Pinners plan months ahead. Holiday content should be live by early fall.

  7. 07
    Add save buttons to your site

    Let visitors pin your products and articles for you. Every save is a link and a signal.

  8. 08
    Install the tag before advertising

    Without it, there is no conversion data and no retargeting.

Pinterest marketing questions

Frequently asked questions

01Is Pinterest right for my business?

If you sell products, or your work can be pictured, yes: ecommerce and retail, home and garden, food, fashion and beauty, weddings and events, travel, real estate, design and crafts. Pinterest began mostly female and is now more balanced, with a strong share of high-income planners. For B2B and local services it is usually a lower priority.

02How is Pinterest different from Instagram?

Instagram is a feed; Pinterest is a search engine. People come to Pinterest to find and plan, not to follow, so pins are discovered by search for months and every pin links out to your site. The content work is closer to SEO than to social posting.

03Does Pinterest help my Google rankings?

More directly than most social platforms. Pins are public and indexed, they appear in Google and Google Images, and each one links to your page. The traffic and brand recognition they produce lead to the mentions and links Google rewards. We integrate Pinterest with your SEO and product content.

04How much does Pinterest marketing cost?

Management is quoted monthly by the volume of pins and whether catalog setup, design and advertising are included. Ad budgets are paid to Pinterest separately and the cost per click is typically lower than Google or Meta for the same shoppers.

05Do I need a product catalog?

For ecommerce, yes. A product feed gives you product pins with live prices, the Shop tab and shopping ads. We set it up from Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce or a feed file.

06How do you measure results?

Impressions, saves and outbound clicks for the account; sessions, conversions and revenue from Pinterest in your analytics and through the Pinterest tag. Reported monthly alongside your other channels.
